Pieve di Gravago

The Pieve di Gravago overlooks the Val Noveglia, looking down to the Val Ceno and the castle of Bardi which stands out just in front on the opposite side.

Originally the parish church was a Benedictine monastery, one of the oldest foundations in the area being already mentioned in 744 in a document of the Lombard king Ildebrando.

The church has a simple façade decorated with pilasters, a single nave with side chapels and enriched by the presence of the seventeenth-century high altar, coming from the Cathedral of Carrara.

The current building is of recent construction, erected in the mid-nineteenth century, leaving no room for evidence of the original ancient parish church.

The church is dedicated to Saints Vito, Modesto and Crescenzia.
